Timlin will celebrate the Pontifical Celebration Mass of Thanksgiving In honor of the churchs centennial. According to historical documents. the church was founded when a group of Polish immigrants separated from another local parish to form the Holy Trinity Church. The cornerstone of the original church was laid on May 4. 1885. Rev. Francis Hodur. Holy Trinitys first pastor. led the church for 2 years. Seven different pastors served the church in the 20 years following Father Hodur.
